Pick your kettle
- Cut the boil noise: For a calmer kitchen, choose quiet‑boil technology to cut kettle noise — useful in open‑plan spaces and during late‑night brews
- Set the right temperature: Variable temperature lets green and white teas brew at ~70–80°C and keeps coffee water in range, so you get smoother flavour, less bitterness and more control
- Tackle hard water: In hard‑water areas, pick a filter kettle or a model with a washable spout filter to improve taste and help reduce build‑up.; descale when you see chalky residue to keep boils quick and water clear
Pick your capacity
For most homes, 1.5–1.7L comfortably serves a couple of big mugs during daily rounds. If you host often, choose a larger capacity for multiple rounds.
Mostly solo brews? A compact jug speeds boils and helps you boil just the right amount.
Choose your material
- Glass: Clear view of water levels, making it easy to spot limescale and know when to descale
- Stainless steel: Robust and durable for daily use and frequent boils
- Plastic: Lightweight with a cool‑to‑touch feel; it’s available in different textures and colours
